One version is essentially a [[Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-950Q|WinTV-HVR-950Q]] while the other is essentially the older [[Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-950|WinTV-HVR-950]] model, so buyer beware.

Revision as of 06:50, 23 October 2013

Note: There are three significantly different devices being sold under the same "HVR-850" brand name. All three versions are supported, but the newest version (USB ID 2040:b140) requires kernel 2.6.37.

Overview/Features

The first is essentially the older WinTV-HVR-950 model. Running lsusb -v will show the manufacturer:device code of 2040:651f.

The second version is essentially a WinTV-HVR-950Q. Running lsusb -v will show the manufacturer:device code of 2040:7240.

The third version is unique, model 1200 (Bought from Frys or Amazon). Running lsusb -v will show the manufacturer:device code of 2040:b140. Useful information for this version can be found on the discussion page.

Evidently, this device does not like USB 1.1 slots (see the discussion page).

Note: Though the usual directory location in which the firmware file is placed is /lib/firmware, this may differ in the case of some distros; consult your distro's documentation for the appropriate location.

Drivers

The xc5000 driver needed for this WinTV-HVR-850 is already part of the latest Linux kernel (part of v4l-dvb drivers).

Analog support was merged into the mainline v4l-dvb tree on March 18, 2009.
